Born a redhead. Went grey 23 seconds after I realized it didn’t suck. Voting rights AND access. Lift from the bottom, everyone rises.

Many of us come from ancestors who had no choice but to survive in order for us to be here. We know the drill. It’s in our bones.

By the time harm comes 2 those who brought this on, I won’t have feelings to spare. They are reserved for those who knew, and who will be harmed first.

It’s been a particularly heavy start to Hanukkah this year.

May the memories of those who were killed be a blessing.

May we keep in our minds the suffering of those injured.

And may we share our prayers with their families and the Jewish community in Australia.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.
